Making wool twists involves attaching wool or yarn to your natural hair and twisting or braiding it to create a protective style. While the process includes various steps like preparing your hair and the wool, sectioning, and installing the twists, one specific technique involves ensuring a neat finish at the root during installation.
Adjusting for Neatness During Wool Twist Braiding
When you are in the process of attaching the wool to your hair, typically by starting with a braid at the base, maintaining tightness at the root is crucial for a tidy and secure style.
Based on methods for creating DIY yarn or wool twist braids, a technique exists to correct looseness at the base:
- As you start braiding the wool onto your natural hair, aim to hold the natural hair securely.
- However, if you find that you didn't hold the natural hair tightly enough at the beginning of the braid, you can make an adjustment.
- To tighten the connection at the root and enhance neatness, you can do so by sliding the wool towards the scalp.
- It's important not to pull the wool too tight when doing this adjustment, but slide it just enough to help make sure that the hairstyle looks neat at the base.
This specific step of sliding the wool towards the scalp is a practical tip used during the braiding/twisting process to ensure the twists are firm and look clean at the point they originate from the scalp. It's one element contributing to the overall process of making wool twists.
